so, president obama, mitt romney, 26% approve. 48% disapprove. those are obviously not good numbers for mitt romney. i'll get to rick on that in a moment. but 45% approve, is that a big win or no? >> look, i think those are good numbers. anytime in polling where you ask a question and said what do you think of obama, what do you think of romney? people default to their partisan position. the real question is where are they breaking? where's the advantage? the differential. how does it break down on the way, what you see internals of that poll. democrats highly supportive of president obama. republicans, very lukewarm on romney. that kind of intensity is a problem. the differential, thatst a problem for romney. the reason is because what we saw from mitt romney is something in kindergarten, engage brain before opening mouth thing. you can't play the kind of talk first shoot later think afterwards style of diplomacy. it's not what works for commander in chief. >> rick, you hear 26% for mitt romney, approval. that's got to make you scared. >> sure.

foreign policy, and president obama's stewart ship of that. i think it's a calculation on his part that he -- that the st stewardship of obama, if it's something he wants to criticize and make it an issue in the campaign, maybe it will work. but it's possible the words on the issue will become the issue rather than the stewardship. >> the president is facing a diplomatic crisis. what do you think the biggest concern for the white house is diplomatically? >> i think the biggest concern is as the arab spring spread, the same thing could happen with these attacks in the embassies. the trick right now is to keep them from going viral. i think that was probably the motivating factor of the statement that was issued in the embassy in cairo yesterday, to try and keep this from spreading the way the arab spring did. this is going to be a problem throughout the arab spring events as they unfold. in each of these countries, you have a group that wants to reintegrate with the world and focus on markets and focus on prosperity, and focus on good governor
